Sitting or standing for long periods<\/strong> in the same position or in a congested space increases the risks. Thus, movement is vital.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>COMPRESSION STOCKINGS AND ELEVATION \u2013 <\/strong> <strong>1.<\/strong> The compression stockings squeeze the legs, improving blood circulation. <strong>2.<\/strong> Physicians also recommend raising an individual\u2019s \u00a0legs for a certain period of time to increase blood circulation. The elevation causes the muscles to squeeze the veins thereby preventing the blood from pooling in the leg.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b>COMPRESSION DEVICE \u2013 <\/b> <strong>1.<\/strong> This is primarily useful in the case of disabled or people suffering from paralysis. Patients can wrap it around their legs and connect it to an air pump. <strong>2.<\/strong> At regular intervals, they pump it with air, thereby squeezing the leg. It keeps the veins active and blood circulation good to not form a clot.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>BLOOD THINNER \u2013 <\/strong>Doctors prescribe blood thinners to individuals developing blood clots more frequently than others.
